How about a game where each character is a deck of cards and you play them a little bit like playing M:tG? A fight would then be a bunch of interrupt stacks. You'd say get to play specific cards from your hand, and it would be up to you to explain what the resulting narrative was (and maybe you could have some sort of reservation system where you could have a couple 'picked cards' that you could hold out of the deck to drop as you want, so you could steer the plot a bit more). I'm kinda stuck in my thinking on this idea at the level of abstraction. Just how high level would this sort of game be? Would a whole combat just be the play of one set of cards? Could whole scenes of all sorts be that abstract? Or even MORE abstract (at which point things become very different from existing RPGs in general and more like table top games)? Of course this COULD be reminiscent of 4e, with the right design choices, but it wouldn't be THAT close a cousin, most likely. It could be utterly different too. It certainly wouldn't be a classic d20 type of game...</blockquote>
